this was a really good reminder to just turn off every single notification on my phone
A Google notification informing me about a news story with the headline "Melania warms to ballroom. Donald Trump says Melania now likes the new ballroom"

looks like one of these big SF tech conferences will finally be about something fun
The beginnings of a big banner sign on the Moscone South building in San Francisco that spells out "SIN" There's probably gonna be more to the sign but I refused to find out what it is

this trend will be the enduring cultural impact the Dune movie has on our society and that is beautiful

An article with the headline "Meet the Gen-Z Man Devoted to Living in the 2000s Era" that I will never read

Screenshot of a Fast Company article with the headline "Starbucks just developed an ingenious way to add 15 grams of protein to almost any drink." The image is a cold brew coffee with a big dollop of white cold foam on top.

yeah man looks like Google's AI overviews are just plain busted after all we should just ignore them
screenshot of me asking Google if it's a good idea to take money out of your 401k for Kesha tickets (AI Overview says no because it's a square)

like look, I deeply appreciate all of the many incredibly gracious and smart people who have taken the time to share their insights with me over the years, but nobody else has ever told me this stuff
Kesha saying her show is going to be so good sh wants "everyone shitting themselves in unison at Madison Square Garden."

The only purely good, wholesome group chat in my life is the neighborhood chat where people occasionally post pics of the local birds banging
A picture in a group chat of two hawks flying into each other on a light pole. The comment on the photo reads, "Here's to future hawks!" Those hawks do be banging. Picture of hawks chilling on the pole after, presumably having some hawk-specific pillow talk.

damn just got wrecked by this ICBM
Email that reads Subject: Out, out, damned "of!" Re “How to Send Cash” and the passage “To be clear up front, you should not just stick a wad of cash in the mail and hope for the best. There's too high of a chance it will get lost, stolen, or otherwise wind up in the hands of someone you don’t intend.” That should read there’s too high a chance. I don’t know what it is with so many Americans — and it’s ONLY Americans — who feel compelled to insert the utterly superfluous word “of” into sentence like this. Truly terrible grammar.
